How it Works
Practice essential language skills like listening, speaking, reading, grammar, and writing, while simultaneously attending tutoring sessions (for English levels 100-200) or taking academic credit coursework from our Specialized Professional Program in Supervision and Leadership (for English levels 500-700). This is where the PLUS comes in! You’re not just benefiting from authentic, structured, English language instruction, you’re also getting the opportunity to progress in your career by completing credit-bearing coursework and foundational learning in Supervision and Leadership, which can be applied across a variety of industries.
Upon completion of the program (for students in levels 300 and above), you will have earned four to six units of academic credit to use toward advancing your education here or at your home university. You can also choose to take it a step further and choose to stay in the US and continue taking courses in the Specialized Professional Program in Supervision and Leadership to earn the full certificate or return to your home country and finish the certificate online. Ideally, you could complete the entire Specialized Professional Program in Supervision and Leadership within just ONE year, putting you a step ahead of your competition.
This full-time immersion program offers seven levels, from 100-200 (beginner) to 700 (proficient). Electives offered in levels 300-400 focus on intercultural skills, and electives in levels 500-700 focus on certificate courses from the Specialized Professional Program in Supervision and Leadership.
